Corporate paella catering near Rotherhithe

Corporate paella catering for your work event in Rotherhithe

For client events, presentation matters: staff-served canapés and paella bowls look professional. Whether it is conferences and training days and away days and office lunches, we’ll put together a menu of Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and bowl food and more.

Around Rotherhithe, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams normally need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

Space, weather and the venue

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls

As a London location, Rotherhithe is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

On the menu in Rotherhithe

The process

The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. In Rotherhithe, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.

Before we arrive

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Share the running order, including any speeches

Getting a price

We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • How many guests are eating
  • How many staff you need
  • Your choice of paellas
  • Starters, canapés and desserts

Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Getting an accurate quote

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • A picture of the space, if you can
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • Roughly how many adults and children

Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: give us the basics about your work event, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, fill in our quote form.

DIY paella versus live catering

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Catering for every guest

We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Ask facilities what documents they need from us
  • Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
  • Confirm live cooking with facilities
  • Share diet numbers and allergies in writing

Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception, so guests can network while they eat.

Bar staff and sangria on request.

Live paella or other catering?

Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many people quickly. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
